About Us

Global Heritage Fund is a non-profit, international conservancy to preserve and protect humankind's most important archaeological and cultural heritage sites in developing countries. GHF conservation and planned development offers new, long-term economic development opportunities for developing countries and their communities.

Our timely investments, global network of experts, and advanced Preservation by Design methodology work together to create a 'cycle of success' for Global Heritage sites which have high potential for sustainable preservation, tourism and economic development.

Our goal is to invest $20 million over the next ten years into 40 Global Heritage sites threatened by neglect, destruction, mass tourism, and urban sprawl. GHF has current projects this year in twelve (12) GHF Epicenters for planning, conservation, training and community development.

Global Heritage Fund leads funding, planning and monitoring of critical preservation and restoration projects at Global Heritage sites exclusively in developing countries which have few resources, experts or the training for conservation and associated community development. Global Heritage sites in developing countries offer one of the most compelling foundations for national and regional economic growth.
